Near the southern terminus of Weston's open-top bus route. The bus is a Bristol Lodekka FLF, new in 1964 and converted to open-top for sea front service in 1976 following an accident with a low bridge in Bristol. The fleet of open-top buses was painted in various liveries which represented the colours of the various tramway systems that had operated in towns served by the Bristol company. "Western Challenger" represents the former Bristol Tramways and carries a picture of Concorde which was built at Filton in Bristol. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
